The Bulls were quite the spectacle during the 1990s, winning six NBA championships in a period of eight years. And on their home court, the show started before the opening tip-off. The Bulls were the first NBA team to dim the arena lights during the introduction of the starting lineup and a spotlight was used to illuminate each player as he stepped onto the planks. When the team moved to the United Center, it added laser lights and fireworks to the pre-game festivities. Bulls players took the court in the following order: small forward, power forward, center, point guard, and shooting guard. Scottie Pippen would be the first player introduced, while Michael Jordan was last. Other teams were quick to follow suit, shutting off the house lights for the opening introductions.
